A cornucopia of sophisticated disco pop, brimming with superb songcraft and supercharged urbane melodic fury. Lucky Soul’s third album is out now on Crystal Paris Records and it’s a real beauty. Back in the day you would have said every song is a single. The kind of social and political struggles that have emasculated the record industry are very much the fine thread snaking through these tremendous songs, albeit fine songs rich with personal politics and emotional reverie too. A very fine album. Bugbear recommends it most highly, hence Ali and Andrew from Luck Soul joined us at Soho Radio the other evening for a lithe live rendering of the title track and some lyrical waxing on all things Lucky and Soul and beyond. They brought their ‘Screenage Kicks’ along too, music of a sweet cinematique or televisual derivation that inform their musical epiphanies. Click and listen. And purchase Hard Lines HERE
